Soooo fun, had coworkers in town and took them out last Friday they loved it and I did as well. One of those spots in San Diego where if the right DJ is there you'll have an unforgettable night. read more

I go to almost all the Lucent events and I absolutely love it here. It's never overly crowded so you'll always have room to dance, and the crowd here come for the artist and the music. This also means the light/laser production isn't the fanciest, but the setting tends to be close and intimate, meaning you are up close to the DJ and they are able to interact with the audience. They allow you to sit on the sides as well, and security has always been nice and friendly with me and my friends. Restrooms are actually very nice and clean, and I have never had any issues with them. The only downsides would be that the drink prices seem to have gone up (if not, then they're just quite pricey) at $14 for a regular drink. Thankfully, water is only $4. Good thing to note is that the bar is not always packed either, so you'll be able to get your drinks fairly quickly. Lastly, parking is also usually not an issue, and there is plenty of street parking available. I definitely recommend you experience Spin at least once, but go for the DJ and not expect to be blown away by a lightshow. read more

This club could be very cool, if they had courteous and informative staff. Unfortunately, their staff are penny pinchers. Upon entering Spin, we were excited to hear deep house music. The main stage was occupied by a hard style DJ who played anything but deep house. After 10 minutes of misery, we left the club, only to discover that the upstairs WAS in fact a different DJ, with different music. When asking if we could return to go dance to what we had intended, we were required to pay an additional $40 a head. No thank you. read more

*****BEWARE OF YOUR PHONE BEING STOLEN HERE******** I have gone to spin twice in the past two months and have had two phones stolen out of my purse and pocket. I've spoken with the bouncers and manager of the club and they are aware of the situation and believe a group of girls are walking around the club stealing phones. Seriously, don't waste your time going here, specifically on crowded nights. The first time my phone was stolen 9 others were reported stolen and last night when my phone was stolen again 4 were reported stolen. I will not be going back. read more

Had a great time last weekend! Super friendly bartender I believe her name was Ali.. will definitely be back

If i could give a ZERO, i would... I had one of the WORST experiences at your club this Memorial Day Weekend. .. My phone was stolen clear out of my purse while i was at your establishment, and when i asked for help from Security, they brushed me off and told me to check the Bar. I went to every bar on every level of your club and was told, "Oh, check with security". I was sober and completely coherent and they treated me like the rest of Ratchet trash that attends your club. My phone, credit cards, and ID are all gone.. Security gave ZERO shits in trying to help me.. One of them that was at the ticket booth didn't even get up from his stool let alone turn his head to check if phones were turned in, i hadn't finished my sentence before he cut me off and said "NO PHONES HERE..." Incredibly rude and unprofessional... I WILL NEVER ATTEND this PLACE EVER AGAIN.... read more

Amazing place, great music, great service and always a great environment. Special events this place get packed so make sure to get their early. Highly recommend this place to anyone that lives in San Diego or is visiting San Diego who is into EDM music. One of the best spots in San Diego. read more

I came here for one of the official CRSSD Festival after parties to see Cirez D. I purchased my ticket ahead of time for $30 which was super cheap! I am used to paying a lot more to get into clubs when there is a DJ of this caliber. Tickets were also available at the door for $40 although online ticket sales did sell out in advance. Spin is located in an industrial area off the beaten path. Its not too far from the Gaslamp so if you're in that area you can take a quick 10 minute Uber over. The setup is very low key; nothing extravagant. You have a pretty good sized dance floor surrounded by only a few bottle service tables and a bar facing the dj. Upstairs is a balcony but it was really hot up there. We stayed downstairs so that we could get a breeze from the open door. There is also a smoking terrace at the very top. I'm not sure if it was just because of Cirez D's dark techno vibe but there weren't many LEDs which you would typically find at an EDM club. Drink prices were average but could be better since its not a fancy club. I can't confirm how much cocktails cost but bottled beers were $7 each. The club stays open until 4am so even if you arrive very late you can still get your groove on late into the night. Overall, we had a great time and I would come back. read more

I recently went to spin and had one of the best experiences ever. The music was amazing and the service was immaculate especially from this amazing bartender Ali. Normally at venues bar-tenders try to rush you out to get to the next person but she went out of her way so that everyone in line received the best customer service. She always had a smile on her face and was the super friendly. In times like these where everyone isn't as nice , she had the warmest presence ever. Thank you for making my first time at spin so fun read more

Lost my purse came on a Tuesday at one when they say to pick up your lost stuff and no one was here !!! Can't get ahold of anyone

I cannot believe this club is open until 4am. Of course they stop serving alcohol at 1:30am and then the cases and cases of water come out... The day I came here I was in downtown and some friends were here. A DJ name pumpkin was spinning and they were a fan. I honestly am so used to the hardcore EDM festival, you know the one with a bunch of Asians rolling to like David Guetta or Swedish, ZEDD, etc. But here it was a totally different scene for me. I was a bit surprised to actually only hear real house music and not that mainstream shit. It was actually good. The DJ before Pumpkin did a better job, he even busted out his saxophone and other things...it got weird! Lol. But you can tell everyone was on something. It was very mellow and shirts off. haha I would definitely come back if I wanted this experience again. It's also located really close to where I live, now I can hangout with friends til 4am in the morrrrning and be happppy... you know what I mean =D read more

My favorite place to boogie in San Diego ! Great music and talent is always being booked. Fun and funky crowd, not your typical downtown bar club scene. Three stories and I love when the rooftop vibes is open! The only place open till 4 am, though alcohol does stop at two am still. I can't wait till im back in my hometown for a visit ! read more

Went here for the first time on saturday to see STWO. We parked across the street, free parking YES! Early arrival is highly recommended if you want good parking. It's interesting that this club is secluded from all the other clubs and is hidden in an industrial area. They don't let people in until a few minutes after 10pm. The line on the left is for people with pre-purchased tickets and the right is for people who needs to buy tickets at the door. The security guards REALLY pat down the guys REALLY well. But they do not pat down the girls, they only check your bags. This club is not fancy, but more of a super chill hipster lounge. They have three floors and multiple rooms. It's almost like a maze in here. + Bottom Floor - Dance floor, couches, bar + Middle Floor - Aerial view of the dance floor, another bar, and a room with vendors selling unique items such as paintings, jewelry and accessories, and they also have a small smoking area outside, which also leads to another room that plays house music + Top Floor - Fire pit, flaming heart with background for taking photos, couches, smoke area I can say that this place is truly unique. What other club has vendors selling unique items, fire pits, and flaming heart statues? And not to mention they had a live acrobat performer hanging on cloth from the ceiling! And drinks aren't that expensive either. A jameson and coke was only $11 and beers are $8. Overall, I genuinely had fun here and the crowd was popping. Only complaint was that tickets at the door was $30. A little bit pricey but I guess it was worth it depending on who you're seeing. read more

Did I fear for my life? YES! Plenty of arguments going on and security having to step in! Crazy place!! Expensive drinks and $20 cover?!?! We aren't in Vegas. We are in some shady looking industrial area with a random nightclub! Only good thing is that they are open late and my group ended up going out after 1am so it was the only place to check out. read more

I've been going to Spin for almost 4 years now since moving to San Diego. I've been for numerous events, but I primarily go once per month to their Overdrive event. The bartender, Ally, is the best! Always fast and efficient with a smile on her face. I look forward to coming each month and always have a blast. read more

its been a looong while since i first gave my glowing review of spin. i was so electronica-deprived it was not even funny. you could have just stuck some headphones on my ears in an alleyway, handed me a glo stick, turned a fan onto me, and told me i was in a club and i would have been a happy duck. hehe. but even so, i still enjoy this venue on occasion. its one of the few places the big names come to when they grace san diego with their presence (a bit rare compared to places like LA) - and out of the lot to choose from, id prefer them here over the downtown clubs any day. but in the last few years it has changed quite a bit. it's more downtown clubbish in a lot of undesirable ways... - You used to be able to get in for FREE sometimes...flyers and such, guest lists. Now, you are "privileged" to get discounted tickets for $10 or $15 if you sign up on the lists and arrive before 10pm. Before 10pm = the place is DEAD empty. there was one time we had free passes if you arrived before 11 and they kept us in line until 11:05 and said they could offer us 50% off instead. shady much? - They used to provide free water. HAHAHA...yeah im serious. I thought when i was there for NYE 2008 that the charge for water was due to the holiday. nope. My last visit it was $4 for a 4oz bottle of Evian. Yeah, i sure felt naive buying that...but what can you do :-/ - They used to have the WHOLE dance floor available to dance on. Now there are raised box platforms in the center (weird) with go go dancers. Yeah...its become a typical club. I mean they are fun to watch, no doubt, but less room to dance = more crowded and claustrophobic. why not on the sides guys? - They used to always open the rooftop patio. Now it appears to only be on "popular" nites. cant even remember the last time i was able to go up there. - They used to release lots of nice cool fog onto the dance floor... 'tis no more. Maybe once? Twice? stingy as hell. -- i dont know. the vibe has just changed a bit. I always enjoy myself when i am there but like most things...it lost its appeal once it became mainstream. that was then, this is now, move on and accept it, right? of course. i will still go, i will still recommend it. even in the lackluster of my update, reminiscing of cheap clubbin days past...it is still a kick-ass place for electronica goodness. the bass is out of control with speakers lining the edge. the lights are fun, its wide and open, and *most* people are chill and there for the same reason: to experience the music and dance. but damn, whats with the businessmen in suits who come over in a limo bus to hold and drink and nod their head? pleeeeeeeeeease go back to the downtown area where you came from. yous messin up my groooooove. read more

I started clubbing at spin and have some really great memories there. Not as upscale and modern as fluxx or bassmnt but always a good crowd. Back before EDM was so popular, some amazing DJs would play at spin, but now those artists rarely visit spin. You can catch more underground DJs now. basstribe and other burner groups occasionally do shows there. Inside the first floor is the main room with a large bar and sunken dance floor with rails along the side. Nothing fancy as far as lights and decor go, but a pretty decent and loud sound system. There are some vip tables tucked in the back if you feel like doing bottle service. The second floor is more like a cat walk looking down on the dance floor but has another bar and bathrooms. Theres also there's a second room which usually has another dj so you can get a little change of scenery. Take the stairs up to the rooftop lounge to get some fresh air and a great view of city. There's couches and tables and a fire pit, perfect for taking a break from dancing. Since they stay open to 4am, you can really party deep into the night. Once 2 am hits, a new batch of clubbers comes in for the after hours dancing. Indeed The freaks come out at night. read more

Change up the music one time. Waste of money, cover was way too expensive. Literally the same EDM song for 20 minutes. Would not recommend

I ONLY go to Spin to see my favorite DJ. Giant Events need to take their business elsewhere. Spin as a venue sucks really bad. And drink prices.... $14/per drink?????? Are they out of their mind???? High end Vegas clubs don't even charge that much! geez. I went to Spin to see LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad, while their act was AMAZING as always.... the sound system sucked REALLY bad - the bass was non existent... and it was DnB!!! where was the bass??? anyways... Spin is not a good venue at all. read more

Drink prices are insane. $12 for a vodka redbull?! The atmosphere of the club is nice, I like the 3 levels and the rooftop patio/smoking area with its own bar is an ideal situation for those of us who crave a little nicotine but also like getting our drink on. Parking is a little nutty. Ok, parking is a LOT nutty. The street spots fill up fast leaving most clubgoers to park in BFE and hoof it to the venue, which is not the best idea in heels. Still, the layout is unique and the bartenders did pour heavy, but I'm glad I decided to start drinking at home before my ride arrived and saved myself a lot of money... read more

I've always had a great time here, very nice club and amazing staff. The shows they have at spin are pretty awesome, it always packed with people having fun. I think it's great that it closes at 4am. They have a lot of great shows line up for the rest of the year that I plan to attend and take a few friends to check out spin. read more

I tried finding an outlet on your website to express my strong dissatisfaction with my experience at your venue. Unfortunately, on your mobile website you do not offer one. I was pretty pumped for the Galantis concert last night. However, you offered no open outside area as promised. You have an outside patio that I attempted to go onto in order to get fresh air (I am prone to asthma). Unfortunately, I was gruffly ushered away with no explanation as to why I was unable to sit there. I had to go outside to get fresh air yet your venue does not allow re-entry? How can you not offer an outside area and no re-entry? I am very disappointed and wish I had saved my $42 for a ticket and $11 on a rail mixed drink. read more

Absolutely would never recommend. Ask for a glass of water when a friend was feeling to intoxicated; got told it cost $5. For a glass of water. Asked another member of staff and was told to "put my head under the sink". This place is just asking for a law suit. Absolutely terrible. read more

First time to this club to see Sofi Tukker for new years. Totally amazing experience. The club itself is pretty large, kind of dirty but not too bad. The sound system was awesome. The bathroom situation for females is another story. There is ALWAYS a line unless you go right in the middle of the headliner's set. Drinks are fairly priced and it doesn't get too hot. However, the main dance floor gets HELLA crowded. What club doesn't though? Definitely would go back. read more

My rating is 5 stars +++ This venue has hosted some of the biggest acts in Electronic music today...and even occasionally will book some DJs that go way way back to my late 90's rave days. They have a consumer friendly pour to their cocktails and a good vibe with an underground atmosphere. Sometimes they even invite local artists to sell art, jewelry, costumes, etc. during thier shows. If I could give them more stars, I would. read more

The club is 5/5 music 5/5 bouncers -100. Every time I come there the bouncers are extremely rude and offensive to me and my entire party. We aren't rowdy by any means, but it's been a consistent problem and on multiple occasions has driven us away from entering. Tip to management - please monitor your employees behavior at the door. It would be nice to see them act as awesome as the club is. read more

I LOVE SPIN. I have to tell you that I am huge into the dj scene, but not a candy kid. This place has a mix of both... and I've never felt uncomfortable here around the crazy people as can happen when you go to see djs. It is the only place in San Diego (right now... it used to be On Broadway, and before that Belo) where you can go to see big name djs. I go there at least once a month. I always put myself on a list and get there early so that I pay $0 - $10 cover. You should too. For the huge events like David Guetta or PvD, buy a ticket in advance. The earlier the cheaper. If you don't want to spend top dollar, plan ahead! Duh. I also object to people who complain about the club being empty when there isn't a big name there. The reason I object is because there is almost always a HOSTED BAR and free cover when the dj is local. Who doesn't love free drinks, no matter the atmosphere?! I promise you that people will start to dance once they get into their groove... but sometimes that isn't until 1:00am (the place is open until 4). Yes the drinks are expensive. But the parking is ample (something you won't find when you go out downtown). Nothing wrong with a pre-party in the car. The bouncers are always pleasant (love Ethan!) - so rare for a club in SD. Shout-out to Justin who owns the little hot dog place on the roof. Drunken rooftop fair-like fare? Yummmmmmmmmmmm. The only bad things: no re-entry and the blonde bartender downstairs is a capital B. read more

This place just started serving hookahs on the 3rd floor. They have a good menu of Flavors and they last a long time. Some nights it's only $10 which is so worth it. Nice lounge and heaters for the outdoor area to keep warm. I would recommend this place to friends ! read more

I had a blast!! The music was awesome!! This was my first time ever going to a place like this. There's 3 floors and every floor was different and you can get a message on floor number two. It was a great experience. If you have never been go check it out. read more

I love the artists they book here. It's definitely a place for more underground theme. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a dressy club night. read more

Came here with my friends mainly because it was open until 4. We each paid the $20 cover to get in around 2 then went inside walked up to the bar and were told that they had already stopped serving drinks. We're not alcoholics but this completely ruined our night and put us in such a bad mood. It's also a little shady that the bouncers proceeded to take our money without bothering to mention drinks were no longer served. Like idc about the money I'm not poor it's just annoying and most likely won't be coming back. read more

I I love music. And for this I got kicked out. A great artist was playong live bit the bass cabinets were not emitting any sound (one could even see the membranes not vibrating). I queried the sound "engineers" and they even came down and put their head on the loud speakers for several seconds - asserting that it was on. It was NOT. The bass were definitely off and becaise i kept asking whether they would something about it (by respect for the artist-audience connection), I was kicked out. This place is not a place for music lovers. It's a total ripoff and recommend you stat away if you want to feel the joy of good sound engineering. Go to casbah rather at least there are bass there read more

Worst place I've been to in San Diego. Security was rude and making racial comments to non Americans all night. Was denied with my REAL ID showing I'm 23.... Was left in the cold for 4 hours while seeing about another 100 people who paid to be there get denied for petty reasons. Horrible experience. Not only that the bartenders were watering down drinks all night, I can't imagine how much those people drinks were for water and a sprinkle of alcohol read more

I've been going to Spin for various years now and it is hands down considered one of my second homes here in San Diego. Always a top recommendation for locals and tourists. Great ambiance, usually a nice crowd of locals, amazing fun, but one of my favorite aspects is the staff. Every staff members makes me feel safe and welcomed. I do have to recognize Ally as one of my favorite persons there - always a smile on her face, fast and efficient service, always make an effort to connect to her clients at the bar and ensure she can do everything she can to solidify a great night! Thanks Spin for an amazing time always and to Ally for always treating every guest like a best friend. read more

This is the best club in San Diego! It's a different, "festival like" vibe not your typical downtown clubbing experience! I went on my birthday last year and the event was co-hosted by burning man. They had go-go dancers, the gorgeous rooftop bar was open, they had amazing dancers dressed in sexy cat costumes and they even had art installations you could sit and chill inside of! You're missing out if you've never been here. Oh they also have two different DJ stages! They don't usually have the rooftop open, art installations, or Go go dancers but be sure to keep an eye out on their venue calendar for extra special events like those ;) read more

Pros: Getting on list for events will significantly decrease price (the event we went to went from 25$ to 10$) but I think this depends on the DJ. Bartenders are nice from what I experienced! Bathrooms are really clean and filled with goodies and a tip jar. The dance floor is large and super nice! Cons: They don't have free water - only bottles. BUT for the ladies at least there are small cups in the bathroom upstairs you can drink tap. The bouncers were mean. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere of the club but I think that was more due to lit friends than anything else. The rudeness of the bouncers kinda threw me off so that's why I'm giving it a three stars. read more

Underground club feel with a couple of rooms of music going at once. Located a little bit outside of the city but still close enough to downtown and surrounding areas. Good atmosphere and temps (which are important to me) with house/techno tunes for the most part. read more

I loveeee spin! Such beautiful people and music! They have amazing artist that show up! I would totally give 5 stars but the only reason why I'm not is that, there's always a cover charge.. but sometimes it can get a bit pricey. And if an artist that you want to see there the cost goes up like crazy and when it's slow they cut off the patio which is a bummer. Even though tickets can be a little bit pricey it's not gonna stop me from enjoying a good time I definitely recommend spin!! Check it out! Especially if you're into deep house and enjoy good energy!!! read more

Background on myself so I'm transparent. I love music. I love dancing. I love communities of people who love music and dancing. I love celebrating and expression through energy. I am not a low frequency being. I am of the highest caliber of energy and smiles. That is me. I have been to national and international clubs and festivals. I live in San Diego born and raised. This is not Omnia SD. This is not Parq. SPIN does not try to be something it is not. You can pretend you like getting drunk with strangers and friends in crowded areas and raising one hand up and "dancing". Do you. SPIN the moment you park and head inside you think "this is sketch". Thats because its already making you feel uncomfortable there isn't all these dressed up individuals standing in the cold and bouncers and traffic. You get inside and realize its 3 stories and it is Grimey. That grime you feel from Europe when it is 4 am and it is sweaty and you are in robotic dance trance state Grimey . you don't know how you feel at this point. Uncomfortable sure. You see these people dancing with each other and by themselves everywhere, dancing in the oddest ways.. Why arent they fist pumping? Why is there so much space? You get into the groove and its 1am.. More people showing up. What? Oh yeah SPIN closes at 4am. You are sweaty and meeting new people that are not shallow. You are in love. You leave. You wake up. What .. Lets do that again. And again. And again. No I didnt get paid to write this, I'm going to SPIN (tonight) because of the people music and love. you can have your Omnia and parq bullshiiiit read more

Spin - House. All. Night. Long. - Dance Clubs Near Me - San Diego, California

My friends and I came here on a Friday night. Even though we arrived 10 min. before 11:30 pm, the first bouncer asked us to pay for cover. When my friend kindly stated that the place advertised no cover before 11:30, the 2nd bouncer let us get through. It wasn't crowded, so there was plenty of room for shuffling on the main floor (this club played house). The bathroom steward offered to spray on glitter in my hair, which was fun and hilarious. If you need water, you have to purchase it from the bottle. read more
